Ovary Pain Post Menopause

Hi there - I have been post Menopause for 5 years, in the last 3 1/2 years Post Menopause my symptoms have really ramped up...has anybody experienced pain in their ovaries like they are going to start menstrating this far past getting their period.  I have already looked up all the scary things that this could be like ovarian cancer etc, but I don’t have any of the other symptoms associated with that.  I clearly felt like my body was trying to have a period with the cramping & discomfort, but no spotting or anything - btw, this is new for me symptoms wise...I have had every other one - Ugh!

Sorry this is happening to you.  Menopause is terrible!  

Just because you're not experiencing any other symptoms go to your doctor about it, and keep close track on what's happening.  Don't let your doctor fob you off. Ovarian cancer can be hard to diagnose, because its symptoms can be attributed to so many ailments, and doctors tend to dismiss patient's concerns without checking--especially if that patient is a female.  We're such "complainers." sad

I know.  A wife of a work friend had "odd" symptoms and went to her MD for 2 years, but he thought she was "too young" to have ovarian cancer, so didn't test.  By that time it was too late to do anything except heavy chemo.  She spent another 2  years fighting it--but passed away just 2 weeks after her first grandchild was born.

I'm not trying to scare you--but you know your body and you have a right to good medical care. xxx   

Thank you lynda20916 - thank you for your concern - well, today no more pain, it literally lasted a few hours like cramps when u are about to get your period.  I just had a physical by my GP & more tests down by my Naturopath - all came out good except for a little elevated cortisol & inflammation, but I also just got diagnosed with allergy induced asthma which could be the cause of the slightly elevated inflammation.  If I get any more weird ovary pain, I will definitely go to the Drs.  It just felt like my ovaries were trying to do their old job.  I also felt really wobbly & flushy right before the ovary sensation, so I can’t help but think all related. I so want this to be over!
